Theme: Network Capacity - meeting the challenge

Wired and wireless carriers alike are hard pressed to keep up with the rapid growth of digital traffic. Video growth is aggressively pushing network capacity limits - and this is not just for YouTube - non-Internet IP video traffic for high definition video, on-demand viewing, over-the-top content traffic and the like are also growing rapidly. Nevertheless, margins are dropping, since traffic is growing faster than revenues; this will have an impact upon the ability of many service providers to finance the needed network upgrades.
